Show Free Press - Wednesday, February 0 harvesting, using seines, was introduced on the lake and the mouth of the Provo River. This, plus the fact that Mormon irrigation practices prevented fish from spawning, soon depleted the lake's trout. By the late 1860's and early 1870's the i! '"i!s number of commercial fishing groups operating on Utah Lake had dramatically diminished becauseof the lack of fish. During a General Conference of LDS Church in 1870 a special committee was appointed to develop fish culture in Utah Lake. This ultimately led to the establishment of fishingrules and regulations which limited seine size, required fish passageway in all dams, and prevented fishing with poisons and explosives. Despite efforts to preserve the trout industry, by the turn of the century Utah Lake'smountain trout was virtually extinct and June suckers, chubs, and mountain herring (whitefish) were nearly so. German carp, the most prevalent fish in the lake today, were introduced in 1886. Fish Commissioner A.M. Musser planted onemillion shad fry in 1889, and largemouth bass were stocked in 1890. Black bullheads and channel catfish were also introduced in the early 1890's, and later white bass, walleye pike, sunfish, perch, and smallmouth bass. By 1897 only carp, chubs, mullets, and suckers could legally be seined.

Russell didn't realize, at age 14, when he became apprentice to Bill Jackson of Orem, that he would someday be using his artistic skills making a living for his wife Dana and their six kids. What was formerly Russell's hobby, has now turned into a full-tim- e recusation. Right now, he's creating a maswinterpiece out of a dow transom.

He has been commissioned to create leaded glass designs for interior decorators in Salt Lake and Bountiful and examples of his artistic talent are on display throughout jewel-colore- the United States. No two designs are alike as he orders glass from 15 or 20 different manufacturers, with most of his orders coming from Germany and France depending on the amount of ts glass pieces needed for a particular design.

Many tons were sold locally for chicken feed. During the early 1930's, the driest period in Utah history, Utah Lake shrank to a mere puddle. The average lake depth was only seven to 14 inches, and "sunburned carp were burrowing in to the m uddy lake bottom to survive." Nearly all the lake's fish either died or were netted out. The Holmsteads' fishing business folded in 1936. Today there is only a single commercial fishery on Utah Lake. lllJMin Bennet, Scholars Hutchings Museum ofNatural - 0 fishermen Continued from front page John Goodson, G.

Holmstead, who on the west side of Utah Lake north of Pelican Point, for years caught and sold a considerable number of suckers and carp to local residents. In 1907 his sons Olafand Oscar expanded the family business. Using large seines and a fleet of boats they caught tons of fish during the winter and early spring - a haul was not uncommon. The cabins huddled about Sulphur Springs. During the early winter of 1850 Daniel Cox made a gill net from the flax he had brought west with him. After his arrival he soaked the bundle of raw material until it rotted, retrieved the fiber, spun it into a string, and knitted it into a seine (he called the entire process "hutcheling and schuchulling"). He and his sons were successful in netting Jordan River fish in the vicinity of the present Saratoga bridge.
